More details to this question:
We are trying to close out my aunts bills and notify of death everything was in her name. Her boyfriend is trying to transfer stuff into his name even though he has no death certificate. He fraudulently told the lending company he was married and even said is last name was the same as my aunts. They were not married. Car loan said they don’t care as long as the payments are made. How can he pay on a loan that’s in a deceased persons name?

Please talk with a local probate attorney about the best way to settle your aunt's estate. Once the court appoints you administrator, you will have authority over all her property, including the car. If the boyfriend wants to claim they were "common law married," he will have to prove it to the judge. This can be very, very difficult to do.
